This noodle cup has six different packets included
The brand name, Shizu Energy, always gives me a chuckle because it sounds less like a noodle company and more like an extreme energy drink.
This noodle cup comes with six packets. I love the included enoki mushroom since it adds a chewy texture.
Produced in China.
The noodles in this ramen are a bit starchy and the broth is also very thick. I would recommend eating this immediately after cooking, as the noodles will soak up all the broth and become kind of jell-o-like if left for too long.
There’s a strong garlic flavor, and it’s a bit salty. I didn’t taste much clam in the broth. The spice is nice because it hits the back of your tongue, giving a pleasant kick. I like this ramen overall.
To level it up, I would probably add more water to this next time to cut the saltiness. I would also add green onions, fried shallots, and some more chili oil to boost the flavor. A bit of vinegar would be nice to add a little sourness, and I think this ramen would be great with some fish balls.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.
